Gsync without Gsync

[jinroh10]

Hello all i ran across the from a source Eteknix and wanted to know had anyone tried this and was successful? http://www.eteknix.com/gsync-achieved-display-without-gsync-module

It was debunked.

So it's not true?

They got it to work on one specific model of laptop. But it was wonky.

Linus talked about it in his

.

Its 27:41 into the video.

Really...i have to check this out.

Keep in mind though, that many laptop monitors have indirect support for variable refresh rate due to the vblank feature that was meant for power saving.

They have had it long before Gsync was a thing.

Desktop monitors do not have vblank, and requires hardware-dependent adaptive sync from the Displayport 1.2a standard. Freesync uses adaptive sync.

Wow...very informative, i didn't know that. So it probably better to just get a Gsync monitor then.
